Brighton's Property Landscape and What It Means for Block Management
Brighton is one of the South East's most architecturally diverse cities. The seafront is dominated by Regency-era terraces, many subdivided into flats over the past century, creating a large stock of converted period properties that demand specialist block management agents. These buildings frequently sit within conservation areas, require heritage-sensitive maintenance, and present complex challenges around shared services, party walls, and ageing infrastructure. Managing these properties well requires a block management company with local knowledge and access to specialist heritage contractors.
The Brighton Marina development and ongoing regeneration along the seafront have introduced modern purpose-built apartment blocks with concierge services, underground parking, and amenity spaces that need professional property management companies. Meanwhile, the growth of the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton has driven demand for student and private rental accommodation in Moulsecoomb, Bevendean, and Falmer, where responsive maintenance and proactive communal areas management are essential for keeping developments in good condition.
Our Brighton team has direct experience managing all of these property types across the BN postcodes. We maintain strong working relationships with Brighton & Hove City Council and East Sussex County Council. As your managing agent, we typically achieve contractor response times of 24 to 48 hours for urgent repairs, with planned building maintenance programmes scheduled to minimise disruption to residents. Our knowledge of local planning regulations, conservation area restrictions, and seafront building requirements means your block is always in compliant, capable hands.
“Our Regency conversion in Brunswick had been poorly managed for years before we switched to Block. The difference has been transformative - the communal areas are beautifully maintained, the service charge is transparent and well-documented, and they genuinely understand the complexities of managing listed buildings in Brighton.”- James R., RMC Director, Brunswick, Brighton
